Provider Options - You Have Choices!There are several OB offices and hospitals in the area - too many to list. If you are seeking a VBAC then please contact me so I can share some info as to which providers are most accommodating in helping you achieve that goal.

In addition, many people prefer an out of hospital alternative. The Midwifery Model of Care is a viable option for those who are healthy and prefer a more personalized approach from a provider. Many people do not choose this option because they fear it is unsafe. The State of Florida would not grant State Licensure to Midwives and Birth Centers if it was deemed unsafe, nor would insurance companies pay the fees for their services. They can also provide just your prenatal care and then you can deliver at the hospital of your choice if you prefer. Some Midwives (CNM's) work in local hospitals so check with your care provider if a Midwife is more your style.

The exciting thing is that you have options so check them out before finalizing your care plan. It's extremely important that you choose a provider you feel confident in and can communicate with.
